A Very Merry LEGO Father Christmas
Thu Dec 25 2025
A wooden table dressed in festive cheer,
Nutcrackers standing as Christmas draws near.
A poinsettia glows in red velvet hue,
While bears and small toys wait quietly too. Above them all, a brick-built Santa stands,
With a jolly white beard and welcoming hands.
From tabletop scene to Santa’s bright face,
At home with Family, I just love this space. May laug....

For My Wife, Who Truly Owns the Tree (and Me)
Mon Dec 15 2025
Soft lights whisper through silver and white,
A winter’s calm glowing warm in the night.
Stars and snowflakes that brightly shine,
But for my dear wife — what’s yours is mine.
I hung the baubles (well… one or two),
You chose the rest — as you always do.
The tree looks perfect, I’ll happily agree,
Just don’t ask who....

Chapter Five – Between Duty and Desire.
John slipped out of the boathouse, the echo of her kiss still pulsing through him like a second heartbeat. Something in that brief, stolen moment had been taken from him and something far more dangerous had been left behind.
He kept to the gravel path, low and cautious, using the thick manicured hedges as cover.

Chapter Four - Where The River Holds Its Breath.
The mist had begun to lift by late morning, drawing back like a stage curtain to reveal Cliveden’s grounds washed in a soft, winter dew.
I followed the gravel path skirting the Parterre, then descended the long flight of 172 stone steps toward the river.
My hands stayed buried in my coat pockets, as if holding them still ....

Chapter Three - Unspoken Tension.
The next morning, the mist settled over the Parterre to the south of Cliveden House, lying low across the gardens like a veil that refused to lift. From my place at the breakfast table, I watched it drift between the sculpted hedges and stone urns of the gardens. I lingered longer than necessary, waiting, anticipating the moment Magda would ent....
